Moussa Says he May Run for Egyptian Presidency
2011-02-05
[An Nahar] Arab League chief Jerry Lewis doppelgänger Amr Moussa,
... who has been head of the vaporous Arab League since about the time Jerry and Dean split up ...
a former Egyptian foreign minister, said Friday he might run for his country's presidency but stressed he thought geriatric President Hosni Mubarak would remain in power until September.

"I do not think he (Mubarak) will leave. I think he will stay until the end of August," he told La Belle France's Europe 1 radio.

Mubarak has said he will not bow to the massive anti-government protests sweeping Egypt and step down immediately but will stay on until elections due in September in which he said he will not run for a sixth term.

Moussa, asked if he would stand in the next elections in Egypt, replied: "Why say no?"

"I am of course at the service of my country... I am ready to serve as a citizen who has the right to be a candidate," he said.

He added that he would also be happy to join a transition government if one emerged to replace Mubarak's regime.

His comments came as Egyptian protesters massed for "departure day" demonstrations to force the 82-year-old veteran president to step down.
